Wintriss Brake Monitor Alternative: Evaluate the Autotech M1025
Looking for a press brake wear monitor or an alternative to a Wintriss Brake Monitor? The Autotech M1025 monitors press stopping time using resolver feedback. Evaluate the complete stopping-performance application, including the existing monitor’s functions and its connections to the press control. [1]
Brake-monitor selection must account for the complete machine application. Manufacturer claims for one product do not establish the same capabilities or approvals for another.
What to evaluate with Autotech
Stopping-time monitoring
M1025 measures stopping time after a brake activation signal. [1]
Programmable limit
A programmed danger limit controls a normally energized brake-monitor output. [1]
Motion and PLS options
Review motion monitoring and optional PLS functions for the selected configuration. [1]
Stopping-performance monitor comparison
| Function | Wintriss Brake Monitor | Autotech M1025 |
|---|---|---|
| Stopping-time monitoring | Published as a real-time stop-time monitor. [2] | Measures press stopping time using resolver feedback. [1] |
| Stop-time test | The manufacturer describes a push-button 90° stop-time test. [2] | This guide does not establish an equivalent 90° test function; verify any required test capability. |
| Displays | The manufacturer lists SPM, crank angle, stopping angle, stopping time and limit. [2] | The product page describes position, RPM/production rate and stopping-time information. [1] |
| Warning and limit behavior | The manufacturer describes an advance brake-warning indication. [2] | The product page describes a programmed danger limit and brake-monitor output; review required warning behavior. [1] |
| Control integration | Review the installed stop circuit and reset behavior. | Confirm the selected monitor, wiring and operating sequence against the complete machine requirements. |
Document the required stopping-performance functions
Begin with the existing drawings and the reason for replacement: failed hardware, changed application requirements or a planned controls upgrade. Identify the required measurement, test, warning, limit and reset functions. Compare each of these individually, including functions used during commissioning or maintenance. A stopping-time display alone is not a complete application specification.
Review M1025 press brake wear and motion monitor specifications →Frequently asked questions
Does this page establish safety-function equivalence?
No. The comparison identifies published functions and selection questions. The selected installation needs application-specific engineering review and validation.
Does the M1025 offer the same 90° test as Wintriss?
The referenced Wintriss page describes that function. This guide does not establish the same capability for M1025; confirm it explicitly if your application requires it.
What information is needed for an M1025 quotation?
Provide the existing model, press details, required monitoring functions and control drawings. Include the resolver part number and the electrical signals available at the installation.
Check your replacement requirements
Contact Autotech Controls with your existing model number, application details and available drawings. Include the checklist above so the product selection discussion starts with the functions your machine needs.
